Hello chaps! After long last, we’ve finally fixed the long standing bug with Kirby’s Up+B in the PAL release of SD Remix Lite. We’re still calling it an alpha release for now, but please do try it out if you have a PAL version of SSBM.

In addition, we’ve gotten some feedback that some people don’t like the NTSC top tiers and instead want to play SD Remix Lite with the PAL balance to the top tiers. We’ve decided to be accommodating and release two versions of the PAL version of SD Remix Lite to account for this, one with the normal PAL top tiers and one with the NTSC buffed top tiers, as it’s really not up to us to decide what you want to play. In addition, one of the feedback we’ve gotten over in the United States is that it’s nice that it doesn’t mess up your Melee gameplay, as the top tiers are the same, and we’d like to extend that possibility to our PAL friends as well.

We’ve had some semi-public testing for the PAL version of SD Remix Lite going for a little while, and we haven’t heard about any bugs, so we decided it’s time to release it on the site officially. We’re still calling it an alpha for now, though.

Even with our own internal testing, there were inevitably things we missed. Unfortunately, not all of them were trivial, so we’ve had to release an update to all versions, including SD Remix Lite. Here’s what’s changed in 3.2.1:

404House has decided to host another SD Remix netplay tournament. It’ll be held on September 12th and is open to all US and Canadian east coast and midwest players. If you live in those regions, sign up for the tournament on the Challonge page for the tournament. As always, the base of operations will be in the SD Remix chat room on Anther’s ladder, so make sure to log into Anther’s before the tournament.

We’re happy to announce that the universal version of SD Remix 3.2 Lite is released! The previous version only worked on v1.02 of the NTSC version of Smash, which is the latest version of SSBM to be released in North America. However, with this release, all versions of SSBM released in the NTSC regions (which include USA, Canada, and Japan) are supported, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility anymore!

It’s come to our attention that someone is holding an online SD Remix tournament on August 10th. The host’s tag is 404House, and it will be an online Dolphin Netplay based tournament.

If you’d like to participate, go on over to http://challonge.com/SDRNetplay1 to sign up for the tournament. The time and ruleset are all posted on that page as well (note they are different than the our recommended stage list on our site, so please be sure to read the rules of the tournament).

If you’ve never played SD Remix on netplay before, we’ve got a Netplay Guide on our site, so check it out if you’d like to join in on the fun!

We’re pleased to announce that SD Remix 3.2 Lite for SSBM v1.02 is now available to the public!

SD Remix Lite is a version of SD Remix that can be run with no console modification. It uses a special save file that has all of the SD Remix data, and by going into the Name Entry screen from the main menu, you can activate SD Remix, giving you all of the SD Remix characters, new stages, and new features! Check out the SD Remix Lite Changelist for more details!

Only v1.02 of Super Smash Brothers Melee is supported. It is the latest and the most common version of SSBM in the NTSC regions of the world (USA/Canada, Japan, most of Central and South America). The second most common version is v1.00, which was the first version of the game released. The SD Remix Lite for v1.00 is in the works, and will be supported in the future. If you don’t know which version your copy of SSBM is, please refer to the section “What version do I have?” in our ISO Guide.

Our hope is that SD Remix Lite will increase the availability and accessibility of SD Remix and allow more people to enjoy the mod than ever before. If you’ve ever wanted to play SD Remix, but you did not want to hack your console to do so, now is your chance! If you have a copy of SSBM v1.02 and a spare memory card, you can copy SD Remix Lite from someone else who has a copy. If you don’t know anyone personally, try asking your local scene. Maybe someone will be willing to distribute it!

Some of you may be wondering why we have SD Remix 3.2 Lite, yet the public version of normal SD Remix is still at 3.1. That’s because SD Remix 3.2 is still under development, and there are a few remaining tasks left. We’re working on getting it released, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy SD Remix 3.2 Lite!

Edit: We forgot to mention that SD Remix Lite does not run on Dolphin. If you would like to play SD Remix 3.2 on Dolphin please wait for the full release of the normal version.

Hey there everyone! We’ve figured out a much easier way of creating SD Remix ISOs, which should hopefully make your lives easier and encourage more people to give us a shot.

The method is patching. We’ve created patches for different versions of Melee to turn them into SD Remix. All you need now is an ISO of SSBM, the corresponding patch for that version (which you can get at our Downloads page), and a xdelta (we cover the GUI version in our instructions). In addition, the patches already have all the optional files built in, so you don’t have to worry about separately applying those!
